Course Expectations

Grading Plan

The DISTRICT GRADING PLAN is applied to points earned by the end of a grading period is as follows:  A =100-90; B=89-80; C=79-75 D=74-70; F=69 and below.

Assignment grades are recorded on a point basis.

A grade may count more than once depending on the skill(s) assessed. Term grades are calculated as a percentage of the total points possible. Areas evaluated will be weighted as follows:

Minor Grades (Quizzes, Classwork, and Homework)           60%
